About the Author
Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car―just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books―a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today the Boxcar Children series has more than one hundred books.
Trying to get a young reader hooked on books requires a story that captures their interest but is written within their reading abilities. This series does just that. I purchased it for a Grandson who is 10, but not a great reader, and because he wants to know what happens next, so he keeps reading.
